First off, Pierre is from St. Vincent, the Caribbean island. Apparently after moving to Canada she entered in a relationship with a Jamaican man who turned out to be already married to another woman.

Pierre apparently brought her new husband home two weeks ago. Now she's dead. Anybody want to bet more thant $0.15 that Shernell Sharon Pierre was murdered by this Jamaican man? I thought not.

So far there have been three interesting comments regarding that entry. I will address the second one first. Anonymous writes:

i call that report malicious and i dont believe you have a inside scoop and if your scoop is so reliable you should inform police instead of using the internet to spread rumors trying to distroy people intigrity

This sounds like quite the damning statement until you remember that I didn't name the person. I simply put forward what I had heard and made a guess. At work on Friday people were surmising that Pierre was killed by an ex-boyfriend, so this isn't exactly an unheard-of proposition (see White, Liana). Meanwhile, my scoop is being discounted as unreliable whilst somehow fingering this Jamaican man who must exist, therefore confirming much of what I said as being at least moderately reliable. It can't be both ways: either I'm just talking nonsense or I've got at least a kernel of truth. If the claim is that I'm fingering an unnamed man, then it has to be the latter. As for the informing police suggestion, I'll get to that in a moment.

Now lets examine the first and third comments, also from "Anonymous" (I assume all three are different anonymouses):

Hi there,

I'm a reporter at CTV News in Edmonton. I was just reading your comments and wondering where you heard this information about Shernell Pierre.

Please give me a call. You can speak anonymously if you want. But I think this kind of information will help police and should be known.

My cell number is (deleted)

Hi,

I am a reporter with the Edmonton Sun. I would also like to speak with you about Shernell Pierre.

Even if you're not interested in speaking on the record, please e-mail me at (deleted)

Now when the first one was posted, my first thought was that this "CTV Reporter" was actually somebody connected with our "innocent Jamaican man" trying to get personal information out of me and find out who knew what. For all I knew, calling that number would get me in a nice burning car of my own. [I deleted both the phone number and the email from the quoted comments in this post, even though they occur in the original comments. This will prevent excessive spam or prank calling, in theory at least. -ed] The second posting, this time with an Edmonton SUN email address rather than a phone number makes me less likely to believe the first post to be malicious: this is an actual first/last name connected to the newspaper. (Note though that there's no appeal to inform the police or asking where I'd heard the story).

I'll summarize here for the sake of other reporters who might want details: the information I brought forward in the original post is the extent of the information I know. If I knew more, I'd have said more (including the dude's name). This is the extent of the scoop, and for that I'm sorry. I don't have the suspect's name, I can't go get you his home address and a photograph of his car (or white van, as the case may be...). Now as reporters, maybe these two have already done this, but from this couldn't it be easy to determine using the resources of the MSM:

Whether Pierre was from the island of St. Vincent

If she recently was married there

If her friends knew of a Jamaican ex-boyfriend

If it turns out the answer to any of these (or all) is "no", then you can discard what you read on this blog. If the answers are yes, then the police can be asked (on and off the record) some more pressing questions regarding this "person of interest" who owns the white Dodge van. In any case, the answers to questions about Shernell Sharon Pierre will not be coming from Third Edge of the Sword beyond what has already been revealed. I just don't knows no more.

i call your statement malicious not on the part of her having a ex but you emphasis on her being with a married man who left her wife for her i actual know for a fact her family do not want her to be seem to be a home recker and yes she was from st vincent since i my self is from there and no she isnt married. Shernell was a sweet down to earth person loving and kind and was a beautiful person inside and out it just pain my heart to see people like you speculate enough is enough respect the family and state postives and not emphasis the negatives we are all human and not perfect in no way am defending any suspect or person of interest by trying to uphold shernell intrigity

i call your statement malicious not on the part of her having a ex but you emphasis on her being with a married man who left her wife for her

So, er, its malicious on the basis of being wrong then?

actual know for a fact her family do not want her to be seem to be a home recker and yes she was from st vincent since i my self is from there and no she isnt married

So its malicious because her family doesn't want her to be seen as a homewrecker? Well either she was involved with a married guy or she wasn't. I see that you claim the statement about her being married is false without addressing the general issue that this Jamaican asshole who she was screwing probably killed her. Isn't that information more important to you than her reputation at this time?

Shernell was a sweet down to earth person loving and kind and was a beautiful person inside and out it just pain my heart to see people like you speculate enough is enough respect the family and state postives and not emphasis the negatives

THE NAME OF THAT JAMAICAN MAN IS DEVON HUGH SAUNDERS. HE IS THE MURDERER OF SHERNELL. HE IS THE EX-BOYFRIEND A VERY COLD AND CALLOUS PERSON. HE CALCULATES HIS EVERY ACTION TO A "T" AND DOES NOT CARE WHO GETS HURT. EVERYTHING HAS TO BE TO HIS SATISFACTION. WHEN YOU SEE THIS MAN STAY FAR AWAY FROM HIM. HE DRIVES A NAVY BLUE AVALANCHE WITH "HUGH'S HOME RENOVATIONS ON THE BACK WINDOW.

took 4 years to charge this murderer who we all can now confirm as Devon Hugh Saunders.is this an isolated thing? or has it affected other families? I feel sick within as I think of other innocent women murdered. brutal acts of violence at the hands of men lacking all sense of consciousness....disguised as human beings.
